I have been working a similar problem which I put into the system as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/799023 - now marked as a duplicate
of this bug.
I have found a workaround for the two machines I have available each
with several wine applications (Dreamweaver, PaintShop, Irfanview,
Notepad++ etc). The workaround is to comment out ALL the
StartupWMClass=Wine lines in the .desktop files in
~/.local/share/applications which is where wine installs them in a
series of subfolders.
The only exception is picasa which launches via a complex script file
and in this case the picasa.desktop file has to be copied from
/usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications and the line
StartupWMClass=Wine appended to get it to associate correctly and not
show the wine icon as suggested by andypiper
A terminal command which follows should comment out all the lines
starting with StartupWMClass=Wine. Copy and paste as a single long line
and run from the home folder. It worked for me but I suggest backing up
at least ~/.local and preferably everything first!
find $HOME/.local/share/applications -name '*.desktop' -exec sed -i
's/^StartupWMClass=Wine/#StartupWMClass=Wine/' '{}' \;
I am not sure I understand why the workaround works but hope it will
give some more clues to those sorting out the problem and a short term
fix for others to try. I am using a MSI Wind U100 fully with a updated
11.04, unity3d and the latest wine from the wineHQ PPA
